Phrases to ban
There are certain phrases or words that get used as part of our collective CMON vocabulary that I would be happy to never hear again. I will give an example; please feel free to add your own!
\"It\'s not coolphotoornot.com...\"
No, but how can I properly rate something I can\'t see? Bad pic=diminished rating.
Ok, feel free to chime in now, but play nice :D
A phrase I\'d love to see go the way of the dodo is...
(drum-roll)
;)The voting here is so unfair! I just had a mini drop from a 9.5 to a 9.4. I hate snipers!
My pet irritations:
This Sux,
Mobile phone Text message writing,
What is NMM? lol
and last but not least :
What colour do you paint Blood Angels?
well duh! black of course. :POriginally posted by Dragonsreach

Can\'t stand that mobile text writing, surely it takes more effort to write:
h0w d1d u d0 that m8? Its 5w33t
than just to use plain english. After typing that in I\'ve proven that point to myself :)
So long as we don\'t ban any offensive phrases, a day\'s not complete until I\'ve offended at least one person ;)
OK, another one:
\"This is my first (company name here) miniature\"
And your point is....?
Oooh...
\'comments please\'
\'please look at my new mini\'
\'what paints should I use?\'
\'Are Vallejo\'s any good?\'
\'why did my minis rating drop with one vote?\'
\'cute\'
\'pro painted/er\'
\'are GW evil?\'
umm... probably a few others, but I\'ll have to go think about it.
:D
Ooooh I\'ve used that one! But I can see that is could be irritating, but if for example you are a Rackham virgin then I can possibly excuse that. Especially if you are then pointing out issues with the sculpt or quality of casting.Originally posted by Primeval

Propaintjob: you\'ve offended me. ;) I detest the term Mate, I have a colleague at work who constantly called everyone \"Mate\" until it was forcibly pointed out that :
- We are not sexual partners
- We are not in the Navy
- We worked with him
- He hasn\'t got any to start with (Billy No-mates)
It goes along with the patronising \"Darling\" that I get from one woman user at work.
Uh-oh, a certain cute young painter is going to be upset over that one Sturm :)Originally posted by Sturmhalo
\'cute\'
Oh and yes :
\"Awesome paintjob\"
:D
\"....I think it would have looked better if you had used metallics/non-metallics \".........Bugger OFF!!!! And stop posting whinges about it on my minis!!!
\"...like the color-scheme and the metallics very much (i hate these NMM, looks like a comic in my opinion).\" And? I like comics!
How about...
\'looks a bit too cartoony for my liking\'
\'great paintjob, hate the figure\'
\'snow bases - how do I make one?\'
It\'s a really good mini. You should try NMM to take it to the next level.
I\'m admittedly not a huge fan of NMM but both tolerate and appreciate it. But the above phrase (and it\'s various paraphrases) drive me up the wall, over the top, though mine-infested no mans land, through a few more trenches and up another wall.
\'This Rox!\' and similar comments without any constructive critisism.....
oh, and \'it\'s not coolpaintjobornot.com\'...which implies we vote for the quality f the mini instead of the paintjob, which is what we\'re actually doing.....grmmmmbblll...
and the glorious snipy whiny comments ofcourse....
oh, and everything Dragonsreach says ;):P:P:Plollollollollollollollollollollol
\"comments appreciated as ever\"
Oh bugger thats one of mine:(
\"This is my first XXX\"
Thats been another lately as well.:(
Sorry...................not!:P
Ah well...

nobody said i have to stop saying it...it happens to be a part of my daily lingo, so to speak, that along with hardcore and effing.lol
but ill just have to remember to stop saying sturms cute...:Plol;)
I hate when people say..
\"in retrospect, viewing that particular pewter model sculpt of a scaled down fictional orc character, I find that the overall greenness of the skin adds an air of believabilty to an otherwise fantastical situation. And furthermore, I suggest that the orc character is indeed a metaphor for the dark side of the human experience, lending credibility to the fact that indeed man is inherently evil\"
That is just soooo cliche\'
Two words:
\"Another Mini\"
... yeah, I kinda guessed that, how long does it take you to come up with these clever, descriptive titles?
(I guess that was more that two words)
:rolleyes:
Anything that suggests banning anything at all I guess.... Unless it concerned erm.. necrophilia etc... It would still have to be a pretty convincing argument though :D
@VIKE- I sooo know what ya meanlol
